Holocaust survivor to share story with children

Holocaust survivor Max Glauben will share his story with the children at Arbor Academy, 1101 Panhandle St., at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

The program is open to the public, but groups are asked to call 677-1057 to confirm.

The program is part of a three-week session about World War II at Arbor Academy. Immersion, as it is called, is a program intended to let the children intensely study the time period. The first week of study covered the military aspect, the second the home front and the third week the holocaust.

After being orphaned at 13, Glauben worked at the Heinkel Airplane Factory, the Vieliczka salt mines and the Flossenburg Concentration Camp. Now Glauben lives in the Dallas area and spends his time telling his life experiences.

"My being here is pure luck. God wanted me alive. God had placed me here to speak for the ones who didn't make it," he said in a press release.
